Re: Three digit number on Do 17P
To identify individual planes within a squadron, a 3-digit number often was painted in white on the fuselage of USMC Corsairs in the Pacific - the numbers were the last 3 numbers of the US Navy Bureau number for that aircraft (equivalent to a serial number). I think the chances were pretty slim that you'd get 2 or more aircraft in a squadron with the same last 3 numbers.
